Consistent Start, Slower Finish Carlos Rodriguez participated in the 2025 UTHealth Houston Half Marathon & 10K, completing the event with a total time of 1:27:37. His average pace was 6:41 min/mile, covering 13.1 miles. He placed 122nd overall out of 4907 participants and 28th in his Male 30-34 division. He started the race with an impressive first mile at a 5:58 min/mile pace, initially securing 38th place overall but then experienced a gradual decrease in speed from mile 4 onward. Analyzing split times reveals a slowdown trend after the halfway point, evident by a notable split time increase at mile 5 to 7:09 min/mile. Despite this, Carlos achieved an overall consistent pace towards the end. A focus on maintaining mid-race energy could help improve endurance in future races. Keeping steady across all splits will be crucial for optimizing overall race times and recovering previous performances where he clocked in at 1:20:00 the year before.
